RYAN GERRITSEN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 55 ARCH ST STE 2A, AKRON, OH, 44304, with a listed phone of (330) 375-6917. NPI 1548689730 was issued on 04/15/2014. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GERRITSEN most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 856 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 297 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $26K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 8.1%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 744 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 561 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
